Do I think that this color would work for everyone? No. It happened to enhance our style. I think the lesson to take from this is that if you want to, you should try using color, color that you really love. Maybe something that takes a bit of bravery to start rolling onto your walls. If you love something dramatic, give it a shot. You can always paint over it. Really. Its true.

Also, and I'll say this every time that I talk about selecting a paint color, when in doubt, go with a paint name you like. “Snowy Pine” for the white cabinets of the girl that grew up in snow-ridden upstate New York and who loves the woods – thumbs up. As simplistically as I can break this down now, the truth is that the selection of “white” could have turned into a real fiasco had he let me have at it. George knows me so well.
